Patient's question:
Boy, he is already one year old. At first, he felt pain even when drinking water through his throat. He also discovered that his cough seemed quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with swollen and red tonsils be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If the child has tonsillitis, first, you can use some symptomatic antibiotic medications. If the child's condition is severe, you can also combine some local treatments, including tonsillar crypt lavage, tonsillar injection drugs, etc. If the symptoms are mainly sore throat, you can consider giving some analgesic drugs. Additionally, if there is a fever, you can also take some fever-reducing medications. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advised to consider surgery as early as possible. Pay attention to a light diet, and during treatment, a liquid diet should be primarily consumed.
